I've heard that Wind in the Willows initially flopped, but was revived by A. A. Milne and his stage adaptation of Toad of Toad Hall. Does anyone know anything more about this? -- Alex Watson 21:26, 22 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Stub categorization

I am moving this article to {{child-book-stub}}, but am unsure whether it should be considered a stub any longer. BonsaiViking 20:42, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

IMHO, it is still a stub. The article lacks a (IMHO) a short description of least of the core aspects of the story (the techno-fixation of the Toad, how he values his "urges" higher than friendship, and how in spite of that his friends "reintegrate him into socienty"). I'm sure someone could write that differently, so it doesn't sound like complete bullshit like my writing. IMHO. --Klaws 19:39, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Published when?

[edit] Details

There are enough pop-culture references to it, besides adaptations, to justify a section mentioning the aspects that support the references. I'm thinking of at least Toad's Wild Ride (at both Disneyland and Disney World?), Toad Hall dormitory, and Toad's Place.
